THERE comes a point in life when we all face the consequences of our daily choices — especially when it comes to health. Often, we tend to put off prioritizing our well-being, convincing ourselves that there's always time to make changes later.

We focus on our careers, families and social lives, and before we know it, our health takes a back seat. But sometimes, it takes a powerful wake-up call to realize that our health is the most important investment we can make. For me, that moment came unexpectedly and changed my perspective forever.
